In addition to the Pubic Hearing on the Proposed Vending Ordinance, the Village Trustees will also be holding a Public Hearing on the Proposed Downtown Area Interim Zoning Bylaw Amendments at 7 PM on January 22nd. A copy of the Draft Interim Zoning Regulations, dated December 30, 2014, is available from the Town Planner.
“The purpose of these Interim Downtown Area Bylaw Amendments is to help implement the Long-term Community Recovery Plan following Tropical Storm Irene, and to promote the general welfare of the Village of Waterbury. These proposed Interim Bylaws will facilitate redevelopment of the downtown area for multi-family residential use, including the area encompassed by the Historic/Commercial Sub-district of the Downtown Design Review Overlay District.”
There are three proposed bylaw amendments. After the Public Hearing is closed, the Trustees will vote to adopt the amendments.
